[in a formal tone] My mane needs to be perfectly coiffed at all times.
RRarity
[in a redneck-like tone] Well, ma' mane is full of dust and split ends.
My hooves are so polished, you can see your reflection in them.
RRarity
Ma' hooves are cracked and dry from working in the fields!
RRarity
Ah' wear droopy drawers!
RRarity
Ah' love bein' covered in mud!
RRarity
This simply must be rectified! You must share that stunning voice at the event.
Yeah! You'll be so amazing! You'd be there on stage, basking in the hooflights, the centre of attention! A shining star! With everypony staring at you; judging you, jealously noting how they could be way better than you! Why wasn't it them? Why wasn't it them? And then, when you choke, they'll turn on you becoming a seething angry mob and you'd be horribly humiliated; never able to show your face in Ponyville again!
RRarity
Pinkie Pie! Don't be ridiculous!
Aw, but I'm so good at it!
I think I found something! I've been reading our journal, and there's something interesting about the sections Discord bookmarked. Applejack, do you remember when you had to tell everypony that the tonic Granny bought from the Flim Flam brothers didn't really work?
How could I forget? It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
[Flashback to "Leap of Faith" where Applejack reveals the tonic was fake]
And in that moment, I knew I had to be honest, I just knew it. But what's that got to do with openin' the chest?
I've found that each of you has had to face a situation where living up to the Element of Harmony you represent wasn't easy. Fluttershy, it was when you realized that the way to show kindness to the Breezies was by forcing them to leave their home.
Fluttershy Oh, the looks on their poor little faces! But I knew that was difficult as it was, pushing them away was the kindest thing I could do!
Rarity, even after Suri took advantage of your generosity at Fashion Week in Manehattan, you didn't let it cause you to abandon your generous spirit.
RRarity
I simply couldn't have lived with myself if I didn't do something special for the friends who have always been so generous to me!
Rainbow Dash, you had the chance to fly with the Wonderbolts at the Equestria Games, But instead you chose to compete with your friends.
Sure, but being loyal to my friends was way --
Pinkie Pie, you realized that seeing your friend laugh was more important than proving you were a better party planner than Cheese Sandwich.
Best party I've ever had!
RRarity
It's clear we've all had our moments to shine, Twilight. But I'm with Applejack; what does any of this have to do with the opening of the chest?
All of you had tough choices to make, but when you made the right one and embraced your element, it helped somepony else make the right choice too. Each of you received something from the pony whose life you helped change. I know it sounds crazy, but maybe there's something special about those objects that could lead us to the location of the keys. The chest is connected to the Tree of Harmony. The Tree is connected to the Elements. And the Elements are connected to all of us! There must be a connection! I hate to admit it, but maybe Discord was trying to be a good friend after all.
And here is the Staff of Sameness. It was one of the great mage Meadowbrook's nine enchanted items. We are incredibly fortunate to have it here. This is the tool that allows us to free ourselves from our marks! I'm curious – how did the subject of the vault come up?
Oh, some ponies were telling us how much they missed their cutie marks, and—
[gasps] Were they? Well, it seems you inspire all sorts of free thinking, don't you?
RRarity
[laughs nervously] Well, w-we certainly didn't intend to cause any disruptions to your charming little—
Good. Let's just make sure of that, shall we?
[the creepy ponies all surround the Mane 6]
Huh?! I'm pancake! I mean, awake...
Uh, Twilight? Is there something you wanna tell us
RRarity
You know how much we appreciate all you do for us, and we simply adore having you around... But... We worry you might be... Ahem... Avoiding something else.
Oh, has it been that obvious? I've been... The thing is... I know it's silly, but I... I've been avoiding... This place.
RRarity
Why in Equestria would you want to avoid such a gorgeous castle?
Yeah! This place has everything! Big tall ceilings that make you feel tiny...shiny new floors that are cold to the touch...brrr! And it even has loooooong empty HALLWAYS!
["Hallways" echos out]
RRarity
I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but it’s almost sunset! We don’t figure this out soon, it’s going to look like we didn't lift a hoof to help her!
Why is this so hard? We’re Twilight’s best friends. This should be easy for us.
She said it herself. If anypony should be able to make her feel comfortable in her new home, it's us. If we can’t do it...
Then Twilight will be stuck living in a castle that just makes her feel...sad.
["Sad" echos out]
Wow, Fluttershy! I didn’t know you could be loud enough to echo!
MCMain cast sans Pinkie
[talking over each other]
Looky here. It's notes for the party she wants to throw for her folks' 15th anniversary. But they ain't nearly that old! Huh. She's already plannin' their 100th too. And their 500th?
I had no idea she worked so hard on her parties.
She may be more organized than you, Twilight.
Let's not get carried away.
RRarity
I just wish Pinkie Pie were here so we could tell her how much we all appreciate her hard work.
[tearing up] Thank you! Thank you! I love you too! All of you!
I tried to go to Yakyakistan so I could bring something back for my party. But at the last second, I made a mistake. [sighs] I worked harder on this party than any party ever. But I'm still just a big failure.
Pinkie, you're not a failure.
What matters is how hard you tried.
Who else would've gone all across Equestria to plan one party?
RRarity
While I've always prided myself on paying attention to detail, I've taken my latest collection to a whole new level with "Rarity's Rules of TLC"!
Judging by this baby, TLC stands for "Tasty Liquorice Candy"!
RRarity
TLC stands for "Time, Love and Couture". And while I do agree that this dress has potential, I've not had enough time to give it enough love to become couture.
SSSassy Saddles
Rarity, I am so sorry. I focused on that one dress, and the rest of Rarity's Royal Regalia paid the price.
RRarity
Well, so did the Princess Dress. The more I sold the more each dress lost its "Time, Love and Couture", becoming "Terrible, Lacklustre and Common".
SSSassy Saddles
I think I finally understand the Rules of Rarity... and will apply them at my next job.
RRarity
I beg your pardon? The Rules of Rarity are only to be applied at Canterlot Carousel! Which is why you must continue to manage the boutique while I'm in Ponyville.
SSSassy Saddles
Ponyville?
RRarity
Well, yes, I'll come to Canterlot with new designs and to see the customers of course, but Ponyville was always going to be my home base.
SSSassy Saddles
[gasps] Bobbins and bodkins, Rarity! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! And I promise to run everything following your rules.
RRarity
I would expect nothing less.
You have to do this every year!
We...could celebrate Nightmare Night together every year....But...the truth is, I really don’t want to.
RRarity
But you’ve done it! You’ve found a way that we can all have a fabulous time together!
Yes, but I’ve also realized something: You all may love Nightmare Night, and I may be good at being a part of it, but it’s no fun for me to see my friends feel like they’re in danger, even if I know they’re not. I really don’t like it, It’s just not my cup of tea.
[scary voice] Spoooooky tea?
No, just regular tea. We do lots of fun things together, but I’m afraid this just isn’t gonna be one of them. Actually, I’m not afraid, I’m perfectly fine with it.
BABaby Alicorn
[burbling]
[tired] It looks that way.
RRarity
But... but... but I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!
Yeah. How can you just be born with them?
The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!
It is beyond even our understanding.
[hushed] That's not very reassuring.
Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic.
We have Sunburst to thank for that.
I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice.
TVTwilight Velvet (Mrs. Sparkle)
Cadance, darling, aren't we going to name the poor little dear, or are we going to spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?
We were thinking... "Flurry Heart".
You know, to remember the occasion.
RRarity
Oh, goodness, how could anypony forget?
I think it's lovely. [kisses]
